Add support for integer type of accessing variable length array.
Add a selftest to check it.

Feng Zhou (2):
  bpf: support access variable length array of integer type
  selftests/bpf: Add test to access integer type of variable array

The use case makes sense.
Please add it as a selftest. Either combine it with patch 2 or another patch 3.
and then resubmit.
Make sure to use [PATCH bpf-next] subject, so BPF CI knows how to test it.
